of the pres ident's message of general interest to our readers leaving out ouly such parts as refer to the routine cf the departments : to the senate and house of representativs in addressing my third annual mes sage to the law making branch of the government il is gratifying to be able to state that during the past year success ha generally attended the effort to exe cute all laws found upon the statute books the policy has been not to inquire into the wisdom of the laws already enacted but to learn their spirit and intent and to enforce then accordingly state of the country the past year has under a wise prov idence been one of general prosperity to lhe nation 1 has however been attended wiih more than usual chastisements in loss of life and property by storm and tire ihese disasters have served to call forth the best elements of human nature in our country and to develop a frit udship for us on the part of foreign nations which goes far towards alleviating the distress es occasioned by these calamities i'he benevolent who have so generous ly shared their mean with the victims of these misfortunes will reap their reward in the consciousness of having performed a noble act and in receiving the grateful thanks of men women and children whose sufferings tiny have relieved foreign relations the relations of the united states with foreign powers continue to be friendly â€” the year has been an eventful one in witnessing two great nations speaking one language and having one lineage settling by peaceful arbitration disputes of loug standing and liable at any time lo bring those nations into bloody and costly conflict an example has thus been set which if successful in iis final issue may in followed by olher civilised nations and finally be the means of returning to pro duct ive industry millions of men uow maintained to settle disputes ot nations by lhe bayonet and the broadside 1 transfer herewith a copy of treaty alluded to which has been concluded since the adjournment of congress with her brit annic majesty and a copy of the proto cols of ihe conferences of the commission ers by whom it was negotiated the washington treaty the treaty provides methods for ad justing tin questions pending between the two nations various questions are to be adjusted by arbitration 1 recommend congress at an early day to make the necessary provision for iln tribunal at geneva and for the several commissions on the part of the united stales called for by the treaty his majesty the king of italy the president of the sv iss confederation and his majesty the emperor of brazil have each consented on lhe joint request of tbe two powers to name an arbitrator for the tribunal at geneva 1 have caused ray thanks to be suitably expressed for the readiness with which ihe joint request has been complied with by lhe appoint ment of gentlemen of eminence and learn ing to these important positions his majesry the kmperor of germany has been pleased to comply wiih the joint request of the two governments and has consented to acl as the arbitrator of ihe disputed water boundary between the u states and great britain the contract ing panics iu lhe treaty have undertaken to regard as between themselves certain principles isl public law for which the u . slates have contended from the com mencement ol iheir history they have also agreed to bring these principles to lhe knowledge of the other maritime pow ers and to invite them to accede to tin in negotiations are going on as to the form of the note by which the invitation is fo be extended t the other powers i recommend the legislation necessary on the part ol the u s lo bring into operath u lhe article of the treaty relating to the fisheries and to the other mailers touch ing the relations of lhe united states towards the british north american pos sessions to become operative so soon as proper legislation shall be had on the part of great britain and its possessions it is mnch to be desired that this le gislation may become operative before the fishermen of the united mates begin to make their arrangements tor the com ing season 1 have addressed a communication â€” of which a copv is transmitted herewith to the i.ivi-r mis of x york pennsylvania ohio indiana michigan illinois and wisconsin urging upon tbe government of those state respectively the necessary action on their pari to carry into effect the object of tbe treaty which contemplates the use nl iln canals on either side con nected with the navigation of the lakes and rivers forming tin boundary on terms of equality bv the inhabitants of both countries it is hoped that the impor tance of the object and the benefits to flow ti â€¢:â€¢ from will secure the speedy approval and legislative sanction of the stales concerned i renew the recommendation for an appropriation for determining the true position of the 49th parallel of lati tude where it forms the boundary between tlu united states aud the british north american possessions between the lake of the woods and the summit of the rocky mountains the early action of congress on this recommendation would put it in the power of the war depart ment to place a force iu the field during next iumu_er i american productions the resumption of diplomat c relations between fiance and germany have ena , bled me to give directions fin the with ! diawal of lhe protection extended to ger mans in france by the diplomatic and i consular representatives of the united i states in that country it is just to add that the delicate dutyof this protection j has been performed by the minister and j the various consuls in france under the ': supervision ofthe hitter with great kind i ness as well as with prudence and tact : tbeir curse has received the commenda : tion of the german government and has wounded no suscepibiliiy of the french the government ot ihe kmperor of ger ' many continues to manifest a friendly i feeling towards the united slates and a desire to harmonize wiih the moderate i and just policy which this government 1 maintains in us relations with asiatic powers as well as wiih the soulh ameri can republics i have given assurance that the friendly feeling of that govern 1 ment are fully shared by tho u states the ratifications of the consular and na turalization conventions with the austin hungarian empire have been exchanged cnited states ano russia the intimate friendly relations which i have so long existed between the united i states and russia continue undisturbed tiie visit of the third sou of the emperor is a proof that there is no desire on lhe j part of his government to diminish the j cordiality of these relations i'he bos i pitable reception which has been given to i the grand duke is a proof that on our ! side that we share the wishes of that gov | ernment the inexcusable course of tin ; russian minister at washington rendered it necessary to ask his recall and to de cline longer to receive that functionary as ! a diplomatic representative it was im ! possible with self respect or with a just | regard to the dignity ofthe country to per j mil m catacazy to continue to hold in i tercourse with this government afier his â– personal abuse of government officials i and during his persistent interference 1 through various means wiih the relations ; between the united slates and other i powers hi accordance wiih my wishes ' this government has been relieved of fur ; ther intercourse wiih m catacazy and | the management of the affairs of ihe im i perial legation has passed into the hands i of a gentleman entirely unobjectionable condition oe cuba it is to be regie ted that i he disturbed , condition ofthe island of cuba continues io be a source of annoyance and anxiety [ the existence of a protracted struggle in i such close proximity in our own territory i without apparent prospect of en early i termination cannot be otlier than an ob ject of concern to a people who while abstaining from interference in affairs of other powers naturally desire to see eve rv country in the undisturbed enjoyment of peace liberty and llie blessings office institutions our naval commanders in cuban waters have been instructed in case it should become necessary to spare no effort to protect toe lives of bona fide i american citizens and to maintain the ' dignity of the flag it is hoped that all pending questions with spain growing out of llie affairs in cuba may be adjusted iu the spirit id peace and conciliation which has hitherto guided tbe two powers in their treatment of such questions national debt iho national debt has been reduced fo the extent of ssg.t)57,12g 80 during the - year and by ihe negotiation of national bonds at a lower rate ol interest the inter est on ihe public debt bos been so far diminished that now the sum to be raised for the interest account is nearly 70,000 000 less than on iln 1st of march 1sg9 it was highly desirable that this rapid d'ininution should take place both to strengthen the credit of the country and io convince its citizens of their entire ability to meet every dollar of liability v iih in t bankrupting them but in view of ihe accomplishment of these desirable ends of the rapid development of the resources of the country its increasing ability to meet larje demands and the amount already pai 1 it is uol desirable that the present resources of ihe country should continue to be taxed in order to continue this uipid payment i therefore recommend a modification of both the tariff and internal tax laws i redaction of taxes i recommend that all taxes from inter j * mil sources be abolished except those collected from spirituous vinous and malt liquors tobacco in iis various forms and f.om stamps in readjusting the tariff i suggest lhat a careful estimate be made of the amount â€¢ of surplus revenue collected under the ! preseni laws after providing f r the cur \ lent expenses of ihe government the ! interest acconn and sinking fund aud ! that this surplus be reduced iu such a ! manner as lo afford the greatest relief to the gieatest number there are many ' articles not produced at home bul which enter largely into general consumption through articles which are manufactured at home â€” such as medicines compounded ce from which very litth revenue is derived but which enter into general use ! all such articles i recommend to be plac i ed on th free list should a further reduction prove advis i able i would then recommend lhat it be made upon those articles wliich can best bear il without diliirbing home produc tion or reducing the wages of amerieau labor i have not entered into figures because to do so would be to repeat what will be laid before you in the report of llie secretary ofthe treasury the present laws for collecting the revenue pay collectors of customs small i salaries but provide for moities ?. hares in ! all seizures which at the principal ports of entry partieulaily raise the com pen sal ion i of those official to a large sum ii bus a'waye seemed to me that this system must at times work perniciously it holds out an inducement to dishonest men should such get possession of these offices to be lax in their scrutiny of goods enter ed to enable them finally to make larire seizures your attention is respectfully invited lo this su1 ject financial fluctuations coiitinu d fluctuations in lhe value of gold as compared with the national cur rency has a most damaging effect upon the increase and development of the country in keeping up prices of all articles necessary in every day life it fosters a spirit ot gambling prejudicial alike to na tional mo'als and the national finances â€” if the question can be met as to how to give a fixed value to our currency the value constantly and uniformly approach ing par with specie a very desirable object will be gained postoffice department the enlarged receipts of the postoffice department as shown by the accompa nying report of ihe postmaster general exhibits a gratifying increase in that branch of the public service it is the index of the growth of education and of the prosperity of the people two elements highly conducive to the vigor and stability of republics with avast territory like ours much is sparsely populated but all requiring the services of mail il is not at present expected that this department can be made sei sustaining but a gradual approach to ihis end irom year to year is confidently relied on and the day is not far distant when the postoffice depart ment of the government will prove a much greater blessing to the whole people than it is now the suggestion of the post master general for improvements in the department pn sided over by him are earnestly recommended to your special attention ; and especially do 1 recommend a favorable consideration of the plan for uniting the telegraph system of the uni ted sates with the postal system it is believed that by bucii a course the cost of telegraphing could be much reduced and the service as well if not better ren dered it would secure the further ad vantage of extending the telegraph thro portions of the country where private en terprise will not construct it commerce trade and above all the efforts to bring a people widely separated into a commu nity of interest are always benefitted by a rapid intercommunication education lhe ground work of repub lican institutions encouraged by the in creasing of the facilities to gather speedy news from all parts of the country and the desire to reap the benefits of such im provements will stimulate education 1 refer you to the report of the postmaster general for full details of the operations of last year and for comparative state ments of results with former years alleged southl'kx outrages there has been imposed upon the ex ecuiive branch of the government the execution of the act of congress approv ed april 20th 1s71 and commonly known as the ku-klux law in a portion of the state of south carolina the necessity of lhe course pursued will be demonstrated by the report of the com mute to investigate southern outrages under the provision of the above act i issued a proclamation calling the atten tion of the people of the united states to the same and declaring my reluctance to exercise any of the extraordinary powers i hereby conferred upon me except in cases of imperative necessity but mak iii'r known my purpose lo exercise such power whenever it should become neces sary to do so for the purpose of securing to all citizens ofthe united states lhe peaceful enjoyment ot the rights guar anied to theiu by the constitution and the laws after the passage of this law informa tion was received from lime to time that combinations of the character referred to iu this law existed and were powerful in m anv parts of the southern states par ticularly in certain counties of the state of south carolina careful investiga i tion was made an i it was ascertained that iu nine counties of that stale such com binations were active and powerful em bracing a sufficient portion of the citizens j to control the local authorities and hav ing among otlier things the object of depriving ihe emaue'pated class of the substantial benefits of freedom and of preventing the free polilical action of those citizens who did not sympathize with tlnir own views among their op erations were frequent scourging and oc casional assassinations generally perpe trated a night by disguised persons the victims in almost all cases being ciiizei s of different political sentiments from their own or freed persons who had shown a disposition to cliam equal rights with oth er citizens thousands of iuuflensive and well-disposed citizens were ihe suf j f'erers by this lawless vi deuce thereupon the 12th oi october 1s71 a proclamation was issued in the terms of the law calling upon members of those i combinations to diepe.se within five days â€¢ and to deliver to t lie marshal or military olficeis ofthe united states all arms amunition uniforms disguises and other means and implements used by them for carrying out their unlawful purposes â€” this warning not having been heeded on ! lhe 17th of october another proclamation was issued suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in nine counties | in that state direction was given that within the counties so designated persons supposed upon creditable information to lc members of such unlawful combina tions should bo arrested by the military forces of the united states and deliver ed to the marshal to be dealt with ac cording to law iu two of said counties york and spartausbnrg many arrests have been made at the last account the i number of persons thus arrested wa_i one | hundred and sixty-eight several hundred whose criminality , was ascertained to lie of an inferior de : gree were released for the pri sent â€” these have generally made coi'fesssions i of their guilt great caution has been exercised in making these arrests and notwithstanding the large number it is â€¢ believed that no innocent person i now in custody the prisoners will be held for regular trial in the judici al tiibunals of the united states as 8oon as it appeared that the authorities of the united states were about to take vi gorous measures to enforce the law many \ persons absconded and there is good j grounds for supposing that all of such persons have violated the law a full report of what lias been done under this law uill le submilled to congress by the atloruey general the itobmo's in utah there still remains a remnant of barbarism repugnant to civilization to decency and to the laws ot the united mates territorial officers however have been

c aug 26 71 â€” 2 prsident's message we publish those portions of the pres ident's message of general interest to our readers leaving out ouly such parts as refer to the routine cf the departments : to the senate and house of representativs in addressing my third annual mes sage to the law making branch of the government il is gratifying to be able to state that during the past year success ha generally attended the effort to exe cute all laws found upon the statute books the policy has been not to inquire into the wisdom of the laws already enacted but to learn their spirit and intent and to enforce then accordingly state of the country the past year has under a wise prov idence been one of general prosperity to lhe nation 1 has however been attended wiih more than usual chastisements in loss of life and property by storm and tire ihese disasters have served to call forth the best elements of human nature in our country and to develop a frit udship for us on the part of foreign nations which goes far towards alleviating the distress es occasioned by these calamities i'he benevolent who have so generous ly shared their mean with the victims of these misfortunes will reap their reward in the consciousness of having performed a noble act and in receiving the grateful thanks of men women and children whose sufferings tiny have relieved foreign relations the relations of the united states with foreign powers continue to be friendly â€” the year has been an eventful one in witnessing two great nations speaking one language and having one lineage settling by peaceful arbitration disputes of loug standing and liable at any time lo bring those nations into bloody and costly conflict an example has thus been set which if successful in iis final issue may in followed by olher civilised nations and finally be the means of returning to pro duct ive industry millions of men uow maintained to settle disputes ot nations by lhe bayonet and the broadside 1 transfer herewith a copy of treaty alluded to which has been concluded since the adjournment of congress with her brit annic majesty and a copy of the proto cols of ihe conferences of the commission ers by whom it was negotiated the washington treaty the treaty provides methods for ad justing tin questions pending between the two nations various questions are to be adjusted by arbitration 1 recommend congress at an early day to make the necessary provision for iln tribunal at geneva and for the several commissions on the part of the united stales called for by the treaty his majesty the king of italy the president of the sv iss confederation and his majesty the emperor of brazil have each consented on lhe joint request of tbe two powers to name an arbitrator for the tribunal at geneva 1 have caused ray thanks to be suitably expressed for the readiness with which ihe joint request has been complied with by lhe appoint ment of gentlemen of eminence and learn ing to these important positions his majesry the kmperor of germany has been pleased to comply wiih the joint request of the two governments and has consented to acl as the arbitrator of ihe disputed water boundary between the u states and great britain the contract ing panics iu lhe treaty have undertaken to regard as between themselves certain principles isl public law for which the u . slates have contended from the com mencement ol iheir history they have also agreed to bring these principles to lhe knowledge of the other maritime pow ers and to invite them to accede to tin in negotiations are going on as to the form of the note by which the invitation is fo be extended t the other powers i recommend the legislation necessary on the part ol the u s lo bring into operath u lhe article of the treaty relating to the fisheries and to the other mailers touch ing the relations of lhe united states towards the british north american pos sessions to become operative so soon as proper legislation shall be had on the part of great britain and its possessions it is mnch to be desired that this le gislation may become operative before the fishermen of the united mates begin to make their arrangements tor the com ing season 1 have addressed a communication â€” of which a copv is transmitted herewith to the i.ivi-r mis of x york pennsylvania ohio indiana michigan illinois and wisconsin urging upon tbe government of those state respectively the necessary action on their pari to carry into effect the object of tbe treaty which contemplates the use nl iln canals on either side con nected with the navigation of the lakes and rivers forming tin boundary on terms of equality bv the inhabitants of both countries it is hoped that the impor tance of the object and the benefits to flow ti â€¢:â€¢ from will secure the speedy approval and legislative sanction of the stales concerned i renew the recommendation for an appropriation for determining the true position of the 49th parallel of lati tude where it forms the boundary between tlu united states aud the british north american possessions between the lake of the woods and the summit of the rocky mountains the early action of congress on this recommendation would put it in the power of the war depart ment to place a force iu the field during next iumu_er i american productions the resumption of diplomat c relations between fiance and germany have ena , bled me to give directions fin the with ! diawal of lhe protection extended to ger mans in france by the diplomatic and i consular representatives of the united i states in that country it is just to add that the delicate dutyof this protection j has been performed by the minister and j the various consuls in france under the ': supervision ofthe hitter with great kind i ness as well as with prudence and tact : tbeir curse has received the commenda : tion of the german government and has wounded no suscepibiliiy of the french the government ot ihe kmperor of ger ' many continues to manifest a friendly i feeling towards the united slates and a desire to harmonize wiih the moderate i and just policy which this government 1 maintains in us relations with asiatic powers as well as wiih the soulh ameri can republics i have given assurance that the friendly feeling of that govern 1 ment are fully shared by tho u states the ratifications of the consular and na turalization conventions with the austin hungarian empire have been exchanged cnited states ano russia the intimate friendly relations which i have so long existed between the united i states and russia continue undisturbed tiie visit of the third sou of the emperor is a proof that there is no desire on lhe j part of his government to diminish the j cordiality of these relations i'he bos i pitable reception which has been given to i the grand duke is a proof that on our ! side that we share the wishes of that gov | ernment the inexcusable course of tin ; russian minister at washington rendered it necessary to ask his recall and to de cline longer to receive that functionary as ! a diplomatic representative it was im ! possible with self respect or with a just | regard to the dignity ofthe country to per j mil m catacazy to continue to hold in i tercourse with this government afier his â– personal abuse of government officials i and during his persistent interference 1 through various means wiih the relations ; between the united slates and other i powers hi accordance wiih my wishes ' this government has been relieved of fur ; ther intercourse wiih m catacazy and | the management of the affairs of ihe im i perial legation has passed into the hands i of a gentleman entirely unobjectionable condition oe cuba it is to be regie ted that i he disturbed , condition ofthe island of cuba continues io be a source of annoyance and anxiety [ the existence of a protracted struggle in i such close proximity in our own territory i without apparent prospect of en early i termination cannot be otlier than an ob ject of concern to a people who while abstaining from interference in affairs of other powers naturally desire to see eve rv country in the undisturbed enjoyment of peace liberty and llie blessings office institutions our naval commanders in cuban waters have been instructed in case it should become necessary to spare no effort to protect toe lives of bona fide i american citizens and to maintain the ' dignity of the flag it is hoped that all pending questions with spain growing out of llie affairs in cuba may be adjusted iu the spirit id peace and conciliation which has hitherto guided tbe two powers in their treatment of such questions national debt iho national debt has been reduced fo the extent of ssg.t)57,12g 80 during the - year and by ihe negotiation of national bonds at a lower rate ol interest the inter est on ihe public debt bos been so far diminished that now the sum to be raised for the interest account is nearly 70,000 000 less than on iln 1st of march 1sg9 it was highly desirable that this rapid d'ininution should take place both to strengthen the credit of the country and io convince its citizens of their entire ability to meet every dollar of liability v iih in t bankrupting them but in view of ihe accomplishment of these desirable ends of the rapid development of the resources of the country its increasing ability to meet larje demands and the amount already pai 1 it is uol desirable that the present resources of ihe country should continue to be taxed in order to continue this uipid payment i therefore recommend a modification of both the tariff and internal tax laws i redaction of taxes i recommend that all taxes from inter j * mil sources be abolished except those collected from spirituous vinous and malt liquors tobacco in iis various forms and f.om stamps in readjusting the tariff i suggest lhat a careful estimate be made of the amount â€¢ of surplus revenue collected under the ! preseni laws after providing f r the cur \ lent expenses of ihe government the ! interest acconn and sinking fund aud ! that this surplus be reduced iu such a ! manner as lo afford the greatest relief to the gieatest number there are many ' articles not produced at home bul which enter largely into general consumption through articles which are manufactured at home â€” such as medicines compounded ce from which very litth revenue is derived but which enter into general use ! all such articles i recommend to be plac i ed on th free list should a further reduction prove advis i able i would then recommend lhat it be made upon those articles wliich can best bear il without diliirbing home produc tion or reducing the wages of amerieau labor i have not entered into figures because to do so would be to repeat what will be laid before you in the report of llie secretary ofthe treasury the present laws for collecting the revenue pay collectors of customs small i salaries but provide for moities ?. hares in ! all seizures which at the principal ports of entry partieulaily raise the com pen sal ion i of those official to a large sum ii bus a'waye seemed to me that this system must at times work perniciously it holds out an inducement to dishonest men should such get possession of these offices to be lax in their scrutiny of goods enter ed to enable them finally to make larire seizures your attention is respectfully invited lo this su1 ject financial fluctuations coiitinu d fluctuations in lhe value of gold as compared with the national cur rency has a most damaging effect upon the increase and development of the country in keeping up prices of all articles necessary in every day life it fosters a spirit ot gambling prejudicial alike to na tional mo'als and the national finances â€” if the question can be met as to how to give a fixed value to our currency the value constantly and uniformly approach ing par with specie a very desirable object will be gained postoffice department the enlarged receipts of the postoffice department as shown by the accompa nying report of ihe postmaster general exhibits a gratifying increase in that branch of the public service it is the index of the growth of education and of the prosperity of the people two elements highly conducive to the vigor and stability of republics with avast territory like ours much is sparsely populated but all requiring the services of mail il is not at present expected that this department can be made sei sustaining but a gradual approach to ihis end irom year to year is confidently relied on and the day is not far distant when the postoffice depart ment of the government will prove a much greater blessing to the whole people than it is now the suggestion of the post master general for improvements in the department pn sided over by him are earnestly recommended to your special attention ; and especially do 1 recommend a favorable consideration of the plan for uniting the telegraph system of the uni ted sates with the postal system it is believed that by bucii a course the cost of telegraphing could be much reduced and the service as well if not better ren dered it would secure the further ad vantage of extending the telegraph thro portions of the country where private en terprise will not construct it commerce trade and above all the efforts to bring a people widely separated into a commu nity of interest are always benefitted by a rapid intercommunication education lhe ground work of repub lican institutions encouraged by the in creasing of the facilities to gather speedy news from all parts of the country and the desire to reap the benefits of such im provements will stimulate education 1 refer you to the report of the postmaster general for full details of the operations of last year and for comparative state ments of results with former years alleged southl'kx outrages there has been imposed upon the ex ecuiive branch of the government the execution of the act of congress approv ed april 20th 1s71 and commonly known as the ku-klux law in a portion of the state of south carolina the necessity of lhe course pursued will be demonstrated by the report of the com mute to investigate southern outrages under the provision of the above act i issued a proclamation calling the atten tion of the people of the united states to the same and declaring my reluctance to exercise any of the extraordinary powers i hereby conferred upon me except in cases of imperative necessity but mak iii'r known my purpose lo exercise such power whenever it should become neces sary to do so for the purpose of securing to all citizens ofthe united states lhe peaceful enjoyment ot the rights guar anied to theiu by the constitution and the laws after the passage of this law informa tion was received from lime to time that combinations of the character referred to iu this law existed and were powerful in m anv parts of the southern states par ticularly in certain counties of the state of south carolina careful investiga i tion was made an i it was ascertained that iu nine counties of that stale such com binations were active and powerful em bracing a sufficient portion of the citizens j to control the local authorities and hav ing among otlier things the object of depriving ihe emaue'pated class of the substantial benefits of freedom and of preventing the free polilical action of those citizens who did not sympathize with tlnir own views among their op erations were frequent scourging and oc casional assassinations generally perpe trated a night by disguised persons the victims in almost all cases being ciiizei s of different political sentiments from their own or freed persons who had shown a disposition to cliam equal rights with oth er citizens thousands of iuuflensive and well-disposed citizens were ihe suf j f'erers by this lawless vi deuce thereupon the 12th oi october 1s71 a proclamation was issued in the terms of the law calling upon members of those i combinations to diepe.se within five days â€¢ and to deliver to t lie marshal or military olficeis ofthe united states all arms amunition uniforms disguises and other means and implements used by them for carrying out their unlawful purposes â€” this warning not having been heeded on ! lhe 17th of october another proclamation was issued suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in nine counties | in that state direction was given that within the counties so designated persons supposed upon creditable information to lc members of such unlawful combina tions should bo arrested by the military forces of the united states and deliver ed to the marshal to be dealt with ac cording to law iu two of said counties york and spartausbnrg many arrests have been made at the last account the i number of persons thus arrested wa_i one | hundred and sixty-eight several hundred whose criminality , was ascertained to lie of an inferior de : gree were released for the pri sent â€” these have generally made coi'fesssions i of their guilt great caution has been exercised in making these arrests and notwithstanding the large number it is â€¢ believed that no innocent person i now in custody the prisoners will be held for regular trial in the judici al tiibunals of the united states as 8oon as it appeared that the authorities of the united states were about to take vi gorous measures to enforce the law many \ persons absconded and there is good j grounds for supposing that all of such persons have violated the law a full report of what lias been done under this law uill le submilled to congress by the atloruey general the itobmo's in utah there still remains a remnant of barbarism repugnant to civilization to decency and to the laws ot
